Why Runway Bash?
« Reply #15 on: October 18, 2006, 05:19:51 AM »
Why is there always someone who likes to twist your words into something completely different?

there is a couple of times i have said it aint a play my way post and i have also said sry for making a whining post but still someone people come on and say "so your not happy there not playing it your way" if i wanted to say that i woulda just said it:furious

I couldnt care less about vulches just hate the guys who fly through 20 enemys just to vulch the field like i said very sad and pathetic.

If you fly through the 20 enemys and vulch the field your gna die anyway so why not wait until your mates turn up then go for a furball and get a proper cap instead just being a runway dweeb.

and i will say it again just for those who arent listening this isnt a play it my way or else sort of post like i said in the first place everyone is gna play the game different to the nxt person.

just could do without these sort of dweebs. and i was venting my anger too:aok

Well, I think it is time for the president of the club (SHawk) and the VP (Zazen) to come up with the official and final answer to the question.  Please, no answers from wanabes or midle managers.  Just from the officers so that we can put an end to this.

Thank you

They're not in the air if they're on the runway.

Just pointing that out...

If someone dives in past 10 cons to get a vulch kill he will easily be killed on his way out so there really isn't any problem that I can see.
Lets keep the stupid to a minimum.

Are they trying to get airborne? Yes.

Will they ho you given the opportunity? Yes.

Shoot down every red con you can. Letting Planes get up when you have an opportunity to kill them is dumb...

Save your semantics, a red con taking off is no different than a red con in the air...

Most people do not care about anyone but themselves while playing this game.  It's a case of maturity.  They do not care "how" they get a kill, but rather just getting the kill itself.  That's why people fire on ho's, high deflection shots, gang bang, vulch, cherry pick and other things.  

It doesn't matter how they get a kill, they just want a kill.  

What they fail to realize is that this game isn't about getting kills.   It's about having fun with the person you are fighting with and against.
Time's fun when you're having flies.

You might say shooting immobile planes because you're afraid they'll takeoff is just lazy, and dumb if other threats are already airborne.

You might also say that if you vulch people while they're not moving, they're less likely to re-up, resulting in less overall kills, and less time fighting.

It's kinda like hunting.

I want to bear hunt with spears.

A faster plane you too could fly
but if you catch me you would die

You turn and burn but I don't whine
You pay yer fee and I pay mine.

Sacrificing all of your alt and position advantage over the 5 guys in the air to vulch one guy who is barely rolling is way beyond dumb, it's retarded.  That plane lifting is absolutely no threat to you in the current situation, but the 5 airborne guys are.  

Just admit it's the only way you're going to get a kill, I'm fine with that.  But don't try to tell me it's because it's no different than going for the guys in the air, because it isn't.  I love bellybutton backwards reasoning.  

Pacerr taught you well.

I know what you mean about the runway bashing.They just zoom in and get some free vulches just so they can run home and land their little kills, get their little name up in lights, and get some wtg's from their buddies and think they are just so awesome and most of these think that ACM stands for Another Chance Meeting.

Well now you are just making assumptions. "sacrifing alt and position" lmao

I fly mostly the Zero in LW so I rarely have alt or position and usually have to turn my six to an enemy plane to get him to bite.

I disagree the lifter is "no threat". In fact i find the lifters are just as big a threat because they will Ho anything because they just have to re-up.

Yeah it's the only way I get a kill. lol Nice try. but no.

I have ZERO sympathy for those who get vulched, especially repeatedly. I hardly ever get vulched. It's about as rare for me as puffy ack. Perhaps the people getting vulched don't have a clue about SA? Or perhaps their team should do a better job of protecting the airspace instead of all 5 of them chasing 1 con. lol

Geeesh ... most miss the point.

It's the same guy (on your team) that flys by you (typically in a 190 or an La7) while you are engaged in a 1 v 1 or 1 v many trying to knock the CAP down, just so that he can scream across the runway at 500+ miles per hour to get that 1 or 2 possible kills ... all the while leaving you hanging and fighting the guys that are already a threat in the air.

I get more pissed at that than being on the receiving end of one of those Runway Bashers due to the fact that at most, they get one or two runs and then die an embarrassing death.

The Fury ... this is just one of those things in AH that your just gonna have to deal with. Runway Bashers are those who can't fight and always get their arse handed to them when they do fight ... and it hurts them emotionally ... so rather than jump back into the saddle and try again ... they play Runway Basher so that they can revel in the satisfaction that they did get to kill someone and are able to sleep at night.
